inspired us during our time together
as we shared and discerned
our way forward.

The purpose of Consultative Meetings is to discern the actual and future life and mission of our Society. By sharing experience and insights in a prayerful context, Sr. Katherine and her council are aided in their responsibility to promote the vision of the General Chapter. As we listened to each provincial reflect on her province reality, our hearts were filled with enthusiasm and hope. We appreciated afresh our internationality and cultural diversity, and the richness and relevance of our Mandate --

=a Mandate that offers endless opportunities for choosing life.

We are grateful to the local community for their warm and generous hospitality, to Sr. Denise Mulcahy for her efficient and dedicated secretarial support and to Sr. Kathryn Lennon, who presented the newly completed Formula of Temporal Administration.
